Chapter XVIII
Chen Lian looked at Jiang Yu'er, feeling that he didn't know the person in front of him a little, "Jiang...", he just spoke, his eyes glanced at Xu Nian next to him, and then coughed, "Cough..., but the rivers and lakes, these things in front of you, no one cares about them now"?
Jiang Yu'er and Xu Nian glanced at each other again, and then they both laughed.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see what's more fun", Jiang Yu'er got up, pulled up Chen Lian at the same time, and the two walked towards the tent area.
The two men walked towards the largest tent next to the main gate of the camp, and stopped where they could just get a good view of what was inside.
Jiang Yu'er pointed to the people in the tent and said to Chen Lian: "The person who is stuffing a leg of mutton into his mouth, remember, the person who gave us a lecture at the beginning of the school today, Jiang Shou and Jiang Duwei, the biggest officer in this barracks."
"He, he, too..."? Chen Lian looked at it blankly, fortunately, the two of them stood in the night of the school field, this school field was much, much bigger than a month ago, in the empty school field, there were two people standing in the dark, it was really difficult for anyone to find out.
"No, didn't you notice, he's the boss, so he's the leader," Jiang Yu'er said.
Chen Lian looked at it with a gloomy face, there was actually a woman in Jiang Shou's big tent tonight, six or seven people sat around a table full of wine and delicacies, the woman sat snuggled up to Jiang Shou, poured wine for Jiang Duwei from time to time, and then raised Qianqianyu's hand to feed it to his mouth, every time at this time, several people around him would laugh, and Meng Lang's words could reach the ears of Jiang Yu'er and Chen Lian in the distance.
"The big tent of the Chinese army is not in the center of the barracks, but directly at the entrance of the barracks, and the commanders of the army take the lead in drinking and having fun, and even bring the women of the Qinglou into the camp, which is ridiculous, absurd", Chen Lian said gritting his teeth, and his fists hanging down his side creaked.
"Isn't it more convenient for them to enjoy themselves here, and as for bringing women into the camp, it's not surprising to see too much," Jiang Yu'er said calmly.
"So blatant, are they not afraid at all"?
"Do you see that they look scared"?
"Everyone in the barracks can see it, but no one will reflect it on it"?
"It's all the same, besides, they dare to do this, obviously not afraid."
"No, I'm going to write a letter to the court, I'm going to denounce them."
"Chen Lian, I advise you not to do this, you are just a small soldier now, and you can't control the affairs of the big people above, so calm down first."
"Shameless, ridiculous, how can my Dapei army be like this"!
"There is no cane beating, idle people".
"But, but...".
"Chen Lian, I let you see this on the first day you came today, I hope you can know the real situation here as soon as possible, just like you said, there may be a war, so we have to make ourselves stronger, and only then can we survive, only if we survive, can we have the opportunity to change some things in the future, do you understand."
Chen Lian didn't speak, glanced at Jiang Yu'er, and then turned around and walked back without looking back.
The two returned to the patrol area, Xu Nian greeted him, saw Chen Lian's gloomy face, and didn't say anything, just patted Chen Lian's shoulder.
Xu Nian and Jiang Yu'er glanced at each other, and each smiled bitterly, not long ago, weren't the two of them like this?
After a while, an old soldier staggered to Jiang Yu'er's side, dragging a wine gourd in his hand.
"Yo, Brother Qin, you are on duty today", Jiang Yu'er hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile.
The veteran Qin Liubao is a soldier, almost thirty years old, and he is only a chief, and he doesn't know why he didn't return to his hometown, and he was alone in the army.
Although Qin Liubao is a soldier, he is not a bad person, except for good wine, he has no bad habits, he always carries a wine gourd, even when he is on patrol duty at night. The last time Jiang Yu'er's squad fought and trained against five veterans, Qin Liubao was the leader of that squad, and at that time he personally led four veterans to fight against Jiang Yu'er's five people, and as a result, all five veterans were beaten down.
In this regard, Qin Liubao not only did not hold grudges, but instead had a different good impression of this unpopular team. Since then, whenever he is on duty at night, as long as he also meets a few people in Jiangyuer, he will go over to chat with a few people, and hand his wine gourd to everyone, if he doesn't drink it, it won't work.
"Hehe, this little brother hasn't seen it, what's the matter, your team is finally a newcomer"? Qin Liubao stood still with difficulty, staring at Chen Lian with a confused look in his eyes.
"Yes, this is my good brother from the country, Chen Lian, who just arrived today", Jiang Yu'er came to Qin Liubao's side, put his arm around his shoulder, and slightly supported the veteran who was about to get drunk.
"Chen Lian, this is Brother Qin, a well-known good person in our barracks, call Brother Qin", Jiang Yu'er gave Chen Lian a look.
I don't know if I can't see it at night, or if I see it and pretend not to see it, Chen Lian didn't speak, lowered his head against the fence, and glanced at the camp tent.
Qin Liubao saw Chen Lian's glance, turned his head in the direction to look over there, and understood why the person in front of him looked like this.
"Heh, I can't look at it, you also go to be a general", Qin Liubao sneered, "Hey, little brother of Jianghu, I remember that you and Xu Nian are both from Qingshui County, so this Chen, Chen...".
"Chen Lian", Jiang Yu'er hurriedly answered.
"Oh, Chen Lian, it's also from Qingshui County"?
"Yes, all three of us are from Qingshui County."
"What kind of place is Qingshui County, how do you come out are like bears", Qin Liubao snorted after speaking, and then handed the wine gourd to Jiang Yu'er.
"Brother Qin laughed, but our Qingshui County is indeed a good place, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the mountains and rivers are good, the people live and work in peace and contentment, I have the opportunity to take Brother Qin to our place to have a good show, and ensure that the arrangement for the elder brother is comfortable", Jiang Yu'er took the wine gourd, took a sip, and then handed it to Xu Nian.
Xu Nian also took a sip, hesitated slightly, and still handed the wine gourd to Chen Lian.
Chen Lian saw the wine gourd handed to him, glanced at Xu Nian, and then at Jiang Yu'er, but did not take it.
"What, don't you give me Qin Liubao face"? Qin Liubao saw that Chen Lian didn't drink, and tilted his neck and said.
Jiang Yu'er gave Chen Lian a look: "Chen Lian, take a sip, this is good wine."
Chen Lian hesitated for a moment, took the wine gourd as if angry, raised his head and took a big sip, almost choking himself to death, coughing vigorously.
Seeing this, Qin Liubao hurriedly snatched the wine gourd: "You stinky boy, how can you drink like this, you waste my good wine", he rolled his eyes and glared at Chen Lian, and then staggered away.
Jiang Yu'er patted Chen Lian's shoulder, and the two sat cross-legged on the ground again.
"Chen Lian, remember, we are the ones who vow to be generals", after a while, Jiang Yu'er said slowly.
Chen Lian clenched his fists again.
This night, Chen Lian's mood was extremely low, and it was not until after the shift that he tossed and turned for a long time before he could barely fall asleep.
Fortunately, in the training on the second day, Chen Lian adjusted his mood in time, and it had no effect.
After all, Chen Lian has many years of experience in martial arts, and he has an advantage in a group of recruits, and three days later, Chen Lian directly joined Jiang Yu'er's five-person team, and also began his training life with a blue nose and swollen face.
The size of the barracks was still growing, and at this time, there were more than 3,000 soldiers in the barracks.
On October 18, the tenth year of Chengping, a new Du Wei came to the barracks, and at the same time, there were 200 cavalry with this Du Wei, and after that, the night of playing and frolicking in the barracks converged a lot. Everyone felt a different atmosphere, and during the training, several Tun Wei obviously felt absent-minded, and there was the sound of war horses neighing in the camp.
When everyone was a little confused, Jiang Yu'er's team was a little excited, and the six of them agreed that there must be a war, as for whom? Why fight? They don't care, as long as there is a battle, it means that their two months of suffering have not been in vain. So they trained more carefully, a squad of six people, combat training, and there was no opponent among the recruits.
After more than ten days of training, the six men almost never suffered any major injuries. Unexpectedly, since Chen Lian joined this team, this guy is the same as Wu Debao, both of whom like to face hard shoulders. In the previous battle, the other party rushed towards Wu Debao, but now Chen Lian and Wu Debao always rush to kill together, which gives the other party a problem, and also gives the other four people of Jiang Yuer's team a chance, and the team of six people fights murderously, and sometimes a bunch of people can surround them. Especially when six people and veterans fight and train, always attract a large number of people to watch and coax, more open betting, the handicap from one to ten, slowly become one to five, one to three, now six people into a team against the veteran ten people into a team system, the handicap is already a loss of one.
On November 5, Chen Zhiyuan came to the barracks, and he took Jiang Shou with him, leaving another lieutenant behind.
On 6 November, the newly arrived lieutenants Cui Cheng and Zheng Tianming summoned all the soldiers to give a lecture on the school grounds, and from now on, no new recruits will enter the camp, and the lieutenant generals in the barracks will not be allowed to drink alcohol. An atmosphere of slaughter suddenly spread, and some of the new soldiers were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.
On 9 November, the barracks of more than 4,000 soldiers were reorganized, with Cui Cheng and Zheng Tianming each commanding more than 2,000 people, and Jiang Yu'er's squad was placed under Zheng Tianming's command.
Jiang Yu'er, Chen Lian and the other four members of the team felt that they were in a dream, and whether the scenes they saw before were all fake, Jiang Shou was taken away, perhaps, Pei Chao's military discipline was strict, and what they saw was only a few cases.
In this atmosphere, in the barracks, training continued, and all kinds of speculation about war among soldiers continued to ferment.
